Investigators said the charges stem from an incident on July 4, 2013 when they said Bennett picked up her four daughters from their father’s home, and did not return them on July 7, 2013, as she was supposed to, according to police.

Idaho State Police found Bennett at a picnic table in an interstate rest area on July 13, 2013 near the Washington state line.

Bennett was extradited to Oconee County on Oct. 1, 2013.

At about 9:40 p.m. Friday, deputies went to Canupp Road in Westminster after an ankle monitor tamper alarm went off.

When deputies arrived, they found no one at the home.

The officers were then advised by dispatch that the suspect, Bennett, had walked to Doyle Street and Simpson Street and she was walking into some woods and her son was trying to keep her on the roadside.

Deputies found Bennett’s son, who told them where his mother had walked into the woods.

A deputy found Bennett, who told the deputies that she had cut the monitor off with a kitchen knife.

“Deputies located Bennett within about 15 minutes of the monitor being cut off,” said Oconee County Sheriff Mike Crenshaw. “The first few minutes in a case like this are so important. Everyone worked together. The monitoring company did their job which allowed our officers to arrive on scene in minutes and locate this individual. I also want to thank the Westminster Police Department for their assistance in the search for Laverne Bennett.”
